Multilingual Surveys Opinio supports multilingual surveys, meaning that you can translate a single survey into multiple languages. This allows survey authors to publish an online survey in different languages, and still be able to create reports including responses from all languages. Opinio’s user interface also comes in different languages, currently supporting English, Spanish, German, French, Dutch, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian and Czech. Panel Management Opinio’s Panel management feature allows you to create a list of people that have agreed to provide information about themselves and to be invited to participate in multiple surveys. Decide your own attributes to optimize sample selections and defi ne and publish a survey panelist signup page. User Management Opinio is a multi-user survey application that can serve small companies to an entire organization with hundreds of departments and many thousand users where each and every department and user can have their access privileges controlled in great detail. Opinio offers a powerful set of features that enable administrators to perform detailed user administrati-

  • n. Administrators (with super-user access) can create

users, give them access to various resources in the sys- tem, and even delegate user management. All surveys and polls are organized in easy to understand folders and subfolders.

Survey Look and Feel Opinio allows you to include images in your questions and selecting among predefi ned look and feel survey templates or even customizing it to your own company’s profi

  • le. The design of your survey can be controlled

by two main methods. A survey template or a CSS fi le (Cascading Style Sheet). Survey text, buttons, head- ings, introduction, a “thank you” note and many other settings can be customized in Opinio. Survey Publishing When your survey is done, you can simply publish a link to it on your website, or send out an email

  • r newsletterwith the link to it. If you want better

control of who responds to your survey, you can use Opinio’s built-in invitation feature, where you invite respondents by email and giving each and every one of them a unique link to it. Plugin API The Opinio survey software lets your internal develo- pers extend and customize the functionality of the application further through its available plugin Application Programmer’s Interface (API). Along with Java programming skills, the plugin API permits you to write extensions to add any type of functionality to the application, making Opinio the perfect platform for your web surveys and data collection needs for years to come.

Shared Hosting This is the ideal survey solution if you make the

  • ccasional online survey through the year. You simply

receive an account on ObjectPlanet’s server ranging from 1 to 25 survey authors, depending of your choice. It includes all basic features from the Opinio Enterprise

  • version. There is a limit on 4000 responses per sur-
  • vey. Shared hosting does not support plugins or custo-

  • wn instance of Opinio but don’t want to install and

manage a server yourself, this is the survey solution for

  • you. It includes all features, including the possibility for
  • plugins. ObjectPlanet will create a virtual server for

you on one of our survey servers (shared with up to 7 other clients) and manage and maintain the survey software for you.

This is the perfect survey solution if you have heavy loads from your respondents and many survey authors. The installation includes all features, and gives you an unlimited number of surveys, questions, responses, and reports. The number of sur- vey authors starts at 50 and there is even an unlimited

  • ption available.

Lafayette College, a selective small liberal arts college in Easton, PA, began using ObjectPlanet’s Opinio Enterprise web-based data collection tool in early 2007 to replace a third-party hosted service. After reviewing a number of hosted services and open-source products, we selected Opinio because it offered a variety of simple-to-use features at a reasonable cost. Some of the key features that impressed us were the rather simple question authoring and conditional branching tools; the integration with our email server to send survey invitations and reminders through Opinio; the ability to manage survey author accounts in an enterprise capacity; and the ability to authenticate survey authors via LDAP and, when needed, to limit survey access to those affi liated with Lafayette. Since deploying Opinio in 2007 we have seen widespread adoption across our campus. Professors and students are using it to collect research data; administrative departments are replacing paper-based forms; student organizations are holding online elections of offi cers; many departments are using it to survey their constituents to better serve them; and the list could continue. Opinio has proven to be fl exible for a variety of needs and uses, while maintaining a mostly intuitive interface for our campus users. We are pleased we adopted Opinio at Lafayette College and have found its implementation to be a successful one here. Jason Alley
